Marking this as a documentation problem as I couldn't find a note on the preg_match() and on the general PCRE manual page. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-24 09:47:00] mail@hitzker.de No,I can´t check with PHP4.2.0rc1 , because it´s not my webserver. The server is from an ISP. Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-24 09:42:56] derick@php.net Can you still try the RC from www.php.net/~derick/ ? Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-24 09:41:05] mail@hitzker.de Sorry, there was an error in my bug-Report. There is no 4.0.8 ver. of PHP, of course! But it works all fine with 4.0.6 on a Windows machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-24 08:53:44] derick@php.net Can you try if it works with PHP4.2.0rc1 from www.php.net/~derick ? (And where did you find php 4.0.8? That did never exist :) Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-24 08:47:31] mail@hitzker.de BUG-Report: preg_match("/^([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöüß \-])+$/i",$input) does not Match on "Öhringen", or "dhdgÖfdhh", but on "Lörrach". I think it is a problem of case sensitivity. Solutions: use:preg_match("/^([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäÄöÖüÜß \-])+$/i",$input[Ort]) or install PHP 4.0.8 (no problems) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16242&edit=1
